Product Overview
Heavenly Remixes Volume 8 -Various Artists (Standard Black 2LP Vinyl) ‘What’s a remix for? It wasn’t too long ago that remixes were a vital part of a track’s journey from studio to record shop. Back in the ’90s, the shelves of megastores and specialists groaned under the weight of multiple CD singles and 12”s, each bursting with alternate takes from that week’s hip production teams.
The digital revolution changed all that though. If they were no longer a unique selling point on an extra format, then what were they for? Suddenly, that rock’n’roll band is back to peddling the usual meat and potatoes and the upcoming pop artist is no longer on the guest list.
Heavenly have always seen immense value in the remix, a value way beyond what it might bring commercially. Since their first release in 1990 (where Andrew Weatherall overhauled a one-off single by club kids Sly and Lovechild) Heavenly remixes have been carefully curated and treated as a key part of the A&R process. It’s an opportunity to view an artist through a different prism, to play out a musical ‘what if’ scenario. Why wouldn’t you want to do that? It’s the kind of exploration that’s happened consistently through the thirty plus years the label has released music.
